The portrait (top coin below) clearly does not show the plumb features of Gordian II and his trademark protruding lower lip. It certainly DOES look like an obverse die match to a coin that CNG themselves sold as Gordian I in 2006 (CNG 147, # 327, see the coin on the bottom below):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]959170[/ATTACH]</p><p>The Securitas reverse on the second CNG coin is common for Gordian I (35 known to Banti), but for Gordian II it is even rarer than the Victoria type (only 2 in Banti, none on AC Search), which in itself would make it highly unlikely that this die could depict Gordian II (the two published specimens for Gordian II do not share a die with this).</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin from the Egger catalogue is a Gordian I and listed as such:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]959169[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>JG[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
